Carl tries to realize the dream of his deceased wife Ellie, but ends up learning a lot of other lessons along the way. There are plenty of goofs and gags for the kids. The 11-year-old and 7-year-old sitting next to me loved this movie. But there's a nice and sentimental story for the adults too (if you can suspend disbelief with all the talking dogs). And the ending is great.
Yahoo viewers gave this movie an A. The critics gave an A-. I'll also give it an A-, and recommend this movie for anybody. If you have a child 13 or under: go see it.
